Windows Xp Won't Log On

[pessimessed]

I got Reader_S on my Windows XP laptop and in the process of purging it ended up deleting a lot of infected system files. I'm pretty sure the virus is gone, but the computer won't start up again. I originally thought that this was because of the system files, but I got some help in another thread that allowed me to replace the system32's, so the computer should have been fine, but it wasn't. It still won't log on. It gets to the welcome screen and accepts my password, and I get to the point where I can see my background, then it logs me off again. Any advice? I need to access the old files I have on there, I forgot to back up some things.

Reboot the computer,

Continously tap F8

Hit safe mode

Logon to the admin account

Get the files you need

Hit the start menu

Hit run

type sfc /scannow

make sure your OS cd is inserted

I don't have an OS disk and safe mode brings up the same problem. Anything else?

If you don't have the OS disk there's very little anyone can do to help you. Once you get the OS disk I can help you fix your booting problem. Until then you're out of luck.

I have the exact same issue and I have the OS disc. I have used the disc to run Windows Recovery and have the same issues.

I need to know whether your OS is XP or Vista before I can give you the proper advice

your computer has been corrupted completely due to which you have already deleted win 32 file .

so that it is very important to reinstalled the windows again.

if you have a boot able operating system disk.

put the disk in the computer and restart the computer.

try to installed the windows again , only delete the c drive while installing the windows so that all the data safe in the hard disk.

you can repaired the windows if you have the recovery windows disk.
